The aims of the new American party are
definite. It proposes to close the doors
against further immigration except under
rigid restrictions, to revise the naturalization
laws, to keep the public lands for American
citizens only, to eradicate intemperance, to
suppress polygamy, develop the resources
of the country, provide free schools, and
finally to adjust the relations between capital
and labor. This is quite programme, and it
would not be surprising if it were not fully
carried out by the new party.
There are some postmasters whom even
this reforming administration has not med
died with. One of them is Roswell Boards
ley of North Lansing, New York, who was
appointed when John Quincy Adams was
president, June %, 1928, and has therefore
been in Office more than ffty-nine years,
and is said to be still capable and Efficient.
It is said that the records of the department
do not reveal single complaint of his man
agement of the Office or any effort to procure
his removal. Several other postmasters re-
ceived their commissions more than fifty
years ago, and there must be many more who
have been in Office for thirty or forty years.
They have been spared by former admins

the avowed policy of both political parties.

vantages the world knows US only as the

have been visited by the curious rather than
the home seeker, capitalist or speculator,
but the people have awakened to sense of
their past position and are now desirous of
presenting other claims to recognition. Other
States and territories less favored have asked
and are still asking for national or State aid

has received no such aid, and on its mer-

vancing and fostering its interests. We

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In an article in your issue of August "a
under the head of ';Selectmen'' in regard to
Ansou Sly and wife of Westville the impress
sion has gone out that Gilbert johnson and
wife have done nothing toward their support
when in fact they have paid their rent for
nearly year and have constantly vieited
them and provided them with -four, meat,
potatoes, butter, sugar, tea, etc., as they have
required, and if [ am rightly informed the
town has given them but one dollar week
for six months. Mrs. Sly is an old lady and
her health has been very poor for a number
of years and her mind has been failing rapid
ly. Mr.. Sly was her fourth husband. Had
the selectmen called on Mr.. johnson or asked
him to call on them they would have found
him willing to do all he could for her.

Mr.. John Swinton, who has reason to feel
little discouraged by the meagre support
given him by the workingmen, whose cause
he has supported until he is financially ru-
ined, has issued farewell edition of his pa
per, in which he attempts to tell what struck
him. At the end of his first years work in
1888 he had circulation of $500 copies,
which went on increasing till at the begin
ming of 1886 he was in fair way toward
having 10000 subscribers. Then things be-
gan to happen. Mr.. Powderly issued his
circular of doom against the eight hour
movement; the forty days "halt" in the Or
ganization of new assemblies was ordered;
the great southwestern railroad strike ter
minated in ruin; the Chicago bomb smote
labor full in the face; hundreds of strikes in
the great spasmodic bursts of strikes with
which the month of May opened came to an
untimely end; capital everywhere began to
turn the screws upon labor, and in hundreds
of cases declared war upon labor organiza-
tions; progress was retarded; adversities fell
thick and fast; distracting disturbances be-
gan to be felt in the ranks of organized labor
itself; and millions of workers began to be
discouraged. These grievous changes, says
Mr.. Swinton, :'told with terrible effect upon
the fortunes of this paper. For example, in
the town of Amsterdam, in this State, in
which we had over seven hundred subscrib-
ers, the list fell off to bakers dozen; in the
town of De Soto, No., where we had about
four hundred and fifty, the list dropped to
zero, most of our men being driven out of the
place by the failure of the strike; and it
would be easy for US to give numerous like
experiences in other quarters. Our subscrip-
ton books, for time, looked like picture
of Bull Run"
Mr.. Swinton has perhaps sufficiently ac-
counted for the failure of his paper. But the
Brooklyn Citizen well says: Added to these
considerations, an inquiry might be started
as to the demoralizing effect of the George
and McGlynn movement on the one hand,
and the untimeliness of Mr.. Swinton's own
socialistic philosophy on the other. 1t would
not, we think, be difficult to show that the
latter did not fit in with the American mans
modes of thought. and that the former has
had most chaotic influence. For the pres
ent, however, it is perhaps enough to have
the fact brought out that wild and reckless
leadership in the labor organizations has
been largely responsible for labor misfor-
tunes and for the stoppage of a paper con-
